Chapter 549 The Patriarchs Of The Four Protector Clans [Part 1]

She had been traveling for almost five days, but she was already used to this kind of long journey.

The letter her Master had asked her to deliver was very important, so she did her best to arrive as soon as possible.

The Meredith Clan lived in a hidden valley, and it was nearly impossible for strangers to find their location.

Only the members of the other three Protector Clans would visit them from time to time as they shared important information with each other.

Dawn landed on the open window of one of the houses in the valley. Of course, this house belonged to Emma’s Family, where her letter was addressed.

“Dawn, is that you?” A mature beauty with long black hair walked toward the window with a smile. “It has been a while since I last saw you. How is my daughter?”

Dawn made a chirping noise, making the smile on the beautiful woman’s face widen.

Emma’s mother then cupped the raven’s body and carried her to the table before preparing a bowl of water and a bowl of nuts for her to eat.

After making sure that her daughter’s guide had been properly fed, she took the metallic cylinder from Dawn’s leg and took out its contents.

A sealed envelope, containing the Meredith’s Clan seal, was one of the packages that was inside the storage cylinder.

Emma’s Mother, Fortuna, broke the seal and read the letter that her daughter had written to her.

Usually, Ethan’s Promised One would only send her important news related to their Young Master, so she prioritized reading the letter before looking at the other packages.

As Fortuna read the letter, her eyes widened in shock after learning that Ethan had acquired Queen Celestia’s Legacy.

She was aware that Ethan already had the Tide Bringer’s Legacy, so having two Legacies that complimented each other was a wonderful coincidence.

But as she read more, the surprise in her face disappeared, replaced by a frown.

Emma had written that Ethan, his grandparents, as well as his cousin’s parents, might get targeted by the people who didn’t like the outcome of what happened inside the Epic Legacy Domain.

Of course, she also mentioned that Ethan had killed one of the Prodigies of the Asta Family, which earned him their ire.

If Ethan’s Promised One knew that Ethan didn’t just kill Constantine, but Vladimir as well, she might have included his death in the letter.

Unfortunately, she didn’t know. But what she mentioned in the letter was enough for Fortuna to take this matter very seriously.

After reading the letter twice to make sure that she didn’t miss anything, she headed to her room and opened her cabinet.

Inside the cabinet were three round mirrors and a golden hand bell.

Fortuna picked up the hand bell and rang it four times, and yet, no sound came out of it.

Even so, she remained calm and rang it another four times, with the same result.

The golden hand bell was special. Although it didn’t produce any discernible sounds, it was actually making powerful tolling sounds across the four territories where the Four Protector Clans lived.

But only the Patriarchs of each Protector Clan could hear it. Everyone else would not know that an important meeting was about to take place.

A minute later, one of the round mirrors glowed faintly, and the image of a middle-aged dwarf with red hair appeared on it.

“What happened, Fortuna?” the Dwarf asked. “Are we under attack?”

“No,” Fortuna replied. “Let’s wait for the others, so I will only have to explain it once.”

The Dwarf nodded in understanding. Since the Patriarch of the Meredith Clan had rang the Summoning Bell eight times, it meant that what she was going to say was very important.

A minute later, the two other round mirrors glowed faintly.

An old Catkin man, whose hair was already white, and a beautiful elf with long green hair and eyes appeared before her.

“Thank you for coming on such short notice,” Fortuna said firmly. “My daughter’s letter arrived just a few minutes ago, and I think all of you should be told about it.

“First and foremost, the Young Master has acquired another Legacy, and it came from the Water Fairy Queen, Celestia.”

The beautiful elf gasped upon hearing Fortuna’s words because she had seen Queen Celestia in the past when she was still very, very young.

The red-haired Dwarf and the Old Catkin looked happy after hearing the news. But, seeing that Fortuna wasn’t smiling meant that something was wrong.

“While it is indeed a happy occasion, it also endangered our Young Master,” Fortuna stated. “The people from the Shire Continent think that he is a threat because he acquired the power of a Colossi. Some even believe that he has already been dominated by the Legacy, and is now Queen Celestia’s Puppet.

“But worry not, according to my daughter, our Young Master is in full control of the Legacy, and he is safe from harm.”

The Patriarchs of the other Protector Clans heaved a collective sigh after hearing that their Young Master was safe.

“The Young Master had asked us if we can help protect his grandparents and his cousin’s parents from being targeted by those who wish him harm,” Fortuna explained. “My daughter believes that they might be used as hostages or bargaining chips to put the Young Master under their control.

“I will also pass along the contents of the letter that my daughter has sent to me so that all of you can read everything that is written there. Please prepare a piece of paper.”

The three nodded and placed a blank scroll in front of them.

They knew from experience that every time such meetings were held, they should have a few items with them so that the transfer of information would be quick.

Using her magic, Fortuna copied the words of Emma\'s letter and sent them towards the three round mirrors.

Once the copying was complete, the Patriarchs read the letter, making the room silent for a few minutes.

When they were done, the three Patriarchs had sneers on their faces, which made Fortuna sneer as well.

“Someone actually dares to target our Young Master?” The beautiful Elf chuckled. “Should we exterminate their nine generations?”

“Don’t be like that, Heleth,” the Dwarf replied. “We must not harm the innocent. Let’s just kill them up to the 3rd Generation.”

“Calm down, Thorric,” the Old Catkin said. “I’m sure that this isn’t what our Young Master wants. Master Ethan has a close friend named Nicole, and she is also from the Asta Family. According to the letter, she is a candidate to become the next Patriarch of the Asta Family.

“How about we just kill all the other candidates and make her become the new Patriarch? That way, the Young Master will gain a new ally.”

“Oh please, Enzo. Do you really think that we believe you?” the beautiful Elf, Heleth, smirked. “I’m sure that you’re now raring to go and eliminate Oscar Asta who tried to ambush the Young Master on his way back to the academy.”

Fortuna could see that the Patriarchs of the Protector Clans were hungry for blood.

Truth be told, she was as well. But in order to respect their Young Master’s wishes, she decided to discuss a more… humane way of handling things.

After all, they would not want their Young Master to get a bad impression of them, right?
